You Had To Be There Lyrics – Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney

[Verse 1: Megan Moroney]

Five girls in the mirror putting makeup on

There’s boys downstairs playing drinking songs

Circled up ’round a hand-me-down guitar

Singing, “Oh-oh-oh”

Brand new boots that we’re ’bout to break in

Bought some nosebleed seats, summer money well spent

Parking lot, take a shot, steal a kiss

And we’re ready to go

[Chorus: Megan Moroney]

I see the lights, I hear the band

Feels like the whole world’s in our hands

Soaking it up, breathing it in

One day we’ll say, “Remember when”

We were so alive

I swear that night there was magic in the air

You had to be there

[Verse 2: Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney]

Seven years later, got a different point of view

Got a sound check in ten and my own dressing room

Going ’round the world with the king of no shoes

Singing, “Oh-oh-oh”

Can’t tell you how fast time’s gonna fly by

Keep your heart on your sleeve and your chin held high

Baby, hold on tight

Don’t let go

[Chorus: Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney, Megan Moroney & Kenny Chesney]

I see the lights, I hear the band

Feels like the whole world’s in our hands

Soaking it up, breathing it in

One day we’ll say, “Remember when”

We were so alive

I swear that night there was magic in the air

You had to be there

You had to be there

Oh, you had to be there

[Bridge: Megan Moroney, Megan Moroney & Kenny Chesney]

We made the memories, we’ve got the pictures

But you had to be there

You can’t fake it, that kind of feeling

You had to be there

[Chorus: Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney, Megan Moroney & Kenny Chesney]

I see the lights, I hear the band

Feels like the whole world’s in our hands

Soaking it up, breathing it in

One day we’ll say, “Remember when”

We were so alive

I swear that night there was magic in the air

We were so alive

I swear that night there was magic in the air

You had to be there,you had to be there

Oh, you had to be there, you had to be there

And oh, we were there

We were there, we were there

You had to be there
